It took a while, and I had to ask for directions thee times, but I finally have found dorm 667. I know it's the right room because the door was blasted off its hinges. However, half way through the blast the door got frozen in space time. It's just hovering here, about a foot off the floor, poised to slam against the opposite wall but never ready to finish its jump. This sight has unnerved me, so I'll be keeping accounts of what is going on in dorm 667. This way, if something happens to me, others will at least have SOME insight.

The main room has obviously been rocked by the same explosion the door had been. There's a bookcase smashed into the soft pine floor, and broken glass from who knows what. The window is still intact, so it isn't the source of the glass. ...Looking closer at the window, I've discovered that the ray of sunlight coming through is the entirely wrong angle. The sun right now is just starting to set on the other side of the school, looking out the window I see only darkness. This time freezing phenomenon is very strange. The light angle indicates that whatever happened here, it happened around eight in the morning. Nothing else to really note in this room. Pictures are askew, dust particles are frozen in the air, and there are some chic flicks stacked on the coffee table. I recognize Atlantica's favorite, "Catch That Cutie!" She must have been here, trying to spread joy and smiles and whatever. Judging by the thin layer of dust on the cover, my sister's mission failed.

Moving on into Scilph's room, there is a lot of damage. It's hard for me to see in here. There are a bunch of ceiling beams crashed into the room, obstructing view and movement. I think I see a form on the bed by the far wall. Oh my gosh. It's Jessica. She looks so... small. And tortured. Whatever is going on in that girl's mind, it's a battle. Makes me appreciate that I have an ally for mental fights. Well... I did....

After much struggling, I've made it into the bedroom. I found Scilph. She is caught under a lot of rubble. I tried to move it, but the frozen space time refuses to yeild to even the slightest shift! Scilph's eyes keep staring at the bed. I told her that Jessica is safe, and even though Scliph is frozen I can see her relax. I told her to try and get some rest while I set up the anti-freeze ritual. I read all about it in the Self Aware Library, hopefully it will work. If it does, I'll need to move Scilph fast. I'm worried that she is badly injured by a beam. The only thing keeping her from bleeding out is that time is stopped. Be right back, setting up the ritual.

The ritual has begun. There's only a 40% chance that this will work, but I have got to try something. If this fails, I'll contact the Time Team and ask for assistance. Until then I'll prepare food and medical attention to give to the girls as soon as time resumes. Scilph keeps watching me from her frozen position on the ground, and I don't know if she is glad or furious I'm here. If the ritual works, I'll know in the morning.

I just had another coughing blood fit, and it woke up something in the attic bedroom. Maybe it's Morris! Hopefully he can-- wait, cats? How did you get up there? Wait, stay there! Stop! What the--

Sigh.

I am lying underneath the beam, silently, wishing I could stand. I see something move out of the corner of my eye... I immediately stop breathing. It's Pacific. She has come to save me. How did she know what had happened? If she knew... she knew.

I felt it happen. I was reading her mind involuntarily.

-inhereIseeherisshealrightIbettergocheckbutIshouldgogethelpfirst-

Her mind is racing. She walks over to me. I see her try to lift the beam... I want to tell her the effort is worthless. She bends down and assures me Jessica is alright. I relax. She tells me to get some rest, but I know I can't.

I feel no pain from the beam on top of me, but that is because time is frozen. Not exactly fear is the mood I have, but just... anticipation.

I hear her have a strong coughing fit. And then hissing. I hear her fall to the ground, and then fear overtakes me. What has happened?

I then see the two, wretched cats come up to me. Eralobnia looks horrified, and Nova is shaking.

I see the blood on their paws.
